Thanks for posting Jeremy. Starting to get much closer to the price point at which the demand will explode. Will be curious to read up on the tech.

Hope to see you! Would be great to catch up.

Sorry to hear you need to part with it Jorge - beautiful setup.

I'm guessing that was a random shot of a wrecked second generation Mitsubishi Eclipse. Hopefully not Jorge's!

Great pics! Sorry you have to part with them. Would snag them if we had the new tank up but alas, that is going to be a while. GLWS.

Glad to hear that - really like this tank 👍

Happy birthday Bret! Will need to stop by the shop soon - especially now that Darcy has a potential seahorse tank🙂

I do try and "PAR match" if possible but error on the side of slightly less light to start if I can't get a good value from the previous location.

Oh man - sorry to see this come down. GLWS.

Congrats man... things sound like they are moving along quickly! Hope you get a good offer soon.

Those are beautiful! That Labouti was particularly nice. Congrats!

Great news. Looking forward to seeing this develop. 👍

Nice! Your euphyllia always look sharp.

It will stay alive forever just to spite you - it is the way of the cat. We have three so are familiar with their devious ways. 😻

I'm excited about the cards and all but hey BENGAL KITTY! No wonder you were hiding them from us at the meeting

Resist! Well... unless you don't have copies I guess.

Hi Paul, I believe this reflects the fact that other people who posted may have used photo bucket as their hosting application and hence posted those pics as links. If/when their account goes bad, the viewer gets to see the error message you describe. The error message isn't really contextual and just assumes it is the original owner/user trying to view their photos - hence the confusing language. I have been seeing this quite a bit myself and some of the other posters have made reference to the fact that photo bucket was changing their policies/procedures in ways that had previous users abandoning the platform. When that happens, anyplace they may have uploaded links (like our forum) will likely break. The good news is that since we can now upload images directly to the site and it handles the hosting for us (through a third party) we shouldn't be as vulnerable to this kind of thing. Unless, of course, something happens to the PNWMAS hosting service (fingers crossed). So - long story short, it's them not you. If I messed this up I am sure one of our more savvy users will straighten me out in short order

I see what you did there... Should be a great meeting. Really looking forward to hearing Miles' talk as we make use of some of these compounds regularly in research... plus it's just cool!

One last shout out to Kim and the rest of the crew for putting together such an awesome collection of raffle items for this event. Between the starter kits, refractometer, frag supplies, gyres and Red Sea Nano there was really something everyone could use. Super excited to come home with the nano which is likely to become Darcy's new seahorse tank once we figure out a spot for it. Since I dragged her there on her b-day I figure it should really go to her anyway. I think she is pretty excited... she mentioned that she was going to use "Max Nano" as her screen name on the forum so I take that as a good sign

Maybe Scott will actually show up ? This should be a blast with a great lineup of vendors. The officers have been doing a lot of ground work lining up some of the best. Also looking forward to the guest speaker since I haven't been able to do MACNA.

Can't wait to see what you come up with. It would be nice to have some other form factors available to more easily accommodate different tank shapes but with the same great features.

Indeed... I was wondering about that! I am anxious to see a caption for the one with Sirena putting on the latex lab gloves...

Thanks for all the great pics @Optimusprime3605 and @badxgillen! I hope we get the traditional blow by blow recap to go along with them... one of my favorite parts of the meetings (no pressure Bert). Guess it wasn't too hard to get some good reaction pics for the raffle this time around (sorry, got a little excited). Thanks again for hosting and cooking Kim and Sirena! You guys always come through with a great atmosphere and really make everyone feel welcome - be it newbies or old timers. Much appreciated. Wish we would have gotten there earlier so we had more time to mingle (and eat more ribs, crab, fruit, etc., etc.). Great time!

I would worry that all those tears would throw off my salinity...

Thanks for the info all - much appreciated!
